Zohar Parsha Yitro. Lubavitcher Rebbe & Rebbe’s Father Kabbalist. By Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

welcome to this week's Torah lesson this week's Torah portion is the question of the week is what does it mean that the greater light comes from the darkness so in this he speaks about thean in a very very deep and concealed and dark dark place and from that darkness comes out of light a long piece of zor so the re's father asked simple question what is the connection between this this week's to portion and's father explains as follows because since this portion is and We Know It says that from the darkness when you have light the light is much greater and that's the Z talks about the tremendous darkness and from the darkness comes out the light but the's father explains what does it mean he SP on two levels the connection to on one hand we know y was an idol he served Idols so therefore he came from a dark place and when he converted to Judaism wow now Judaism is real because he's coming from from a place that rebelled that he was he was an idolor so that's the first level that means he's dealing with a dark place and when dark gets transformed into lights he appreciate the light much more then the re's father goes on to a deeper level that is not referring to negative it's actually a positive thing like it says in the prophets that that used the darkness as his Veil that within the darkness you have the greater light and therefore yro accomplished that you were able to bring in from the greater light which is called Darkness into revealed in in into a lower level of light and like he brings what it says in the T that said that came and he said everything that did to the Jewish people they took theem took the Jewish people out of Egypt so in other words what's father explain that there's aim everything that that referring to not the lower level of the higher level elim did it what didim do that mean he pulled out a lower level of because normally isim but but what is what is he saying over here no elim is much deeper because as the verse says a deeper level of and that pulled out so refering to from the deeper light of what in a positive level so the re says re explains and he says what's this level of aim you referring to so the re's father explains and he says it's the level of K we in kesser is it so he says it's the the Deep level of and over there there's sity of say what's the connection with gur if we're dealing such a powerful level what's the idea ofur so explains and he says like this we know it says that is very very powerful in order for to come into this world you need to have aim to to to to to to limit it to create a simum so that it's not overwhelming so and and and the shield so that's normally but what happens when you're dealing with that he says that elim what elim did was referring to a very very high level and you have to go from you have to pull out so it's also AUM and anytime you need a s you need to have G and that's why it says that that it's referring to over there you have because you need to go from elim which is basically the most powerful level of of even deeper than to go to the level of what so the answer the question what does it mean so conventionally we always learned this that from the darkness from the struggle and you overcome it then the light is even greater over here the re's father and the re introduces us that no on the contrary is a very very deep powerful LEL light and then when the light comes out the light that comes out from the into this world thanks so much for joining us for our weekly Torah lesson this week's Torah lesson is dedicated memory of May the souls be elevated by Torah with study in the memory for more information please see our website kw.org have a great and blessed week sha to
